Quote from: saturated on February 02, 2025, 05:43:03 AMAbout forty years ago when I was still in college and working part time the university had afternoon/evening classes I guess it was geared towards working older people![]()
So anyway I was a 🦇 vampire staying up all night doing homework and playing guitar 🎸 etc and my routine had me going to bed 🛏� at about 0530. I had found that Casper the friendly ghost 👻 came on like at 0500 and that was my SOP.
So what does all that have to do with anything?![]()
At night in the small town it got quiet with the exception of an audible hum![]()
Sometimes I would have the windows open I was in an upstairs room at the end of the house. This (real or perceived) hum/pitch/monotone frequency tormented me to some end. In fact I made a few nocturnal excursions around town looking for it. I would drive around to different areas and shut the engine (slant six 66 Dart) off and sit and try to determine where it was coming from.
Spoiler alert: I never did find it or find out anything.
When I told my dad about it he said there was a composer that went crazy because of constantly hearing 440 or something![]()

Was there a hydro-electric power plant nearby at all? Or did the college have a steam plant? They create hum like you are describing. UMaine Orono has a steam plant, and a lot of northern colleges do. Not sure about out your way.
